NEW YEAR.

Another glorious holiday season is here
and the year will soon be numbered with
the past We look back and find that
the material development throughout the
country is beyond the expectation of the
most sanguine The growth of trade has
been without precedent Scarcely a
disturbance in the industrial or financial
world worthy of national notice. No
widespread epidemic has ragged within
our borders. Our relations with foreign
powers have been pleasant and satisfact
ory. We are prepared to enter upon the
spices, and the indications are for great
national prosperity.

Don't forget your darling. she who un-
complainingly has made the walls of your
house her hourly home. during the year,
her hourly care. Remember her busy
care for your comfort Remember her
care for the little ones Remember her
words of cheer and comfort in the hour
of your distress. Remember her, and
make her heart glad with White Sew
ing machine on Christmas. j. MCCURDY.

ITLAY BETWEEN 'EM

A woman was up before the police
court the other day for assaulting her
husband. He relented after her arrest,
and when he came to the witness box
he refused to swear against her.
''Now, Mr.. Clark" said his honor,
didn't your wife infict those scratches
on your face?"

'And | don want you to. Was it
your wife?'

says she didn't then it must be the cat,

BAPTIST NOTES.

Sunday morning the Pastor, John E.
! Gregory, VIII preach on the Lords Supper
which ordinance the Church will observe
at morning worship In the evening the
Pastor will preach on Lot or Covetous-
ness, Carelessness and Callousness. "
| Those of you who are afflicted with these
spiritual diseases should come and get a
scorching.
The Sunday School lesson for JAN Sth
will be Matt IA; 1921, The Multitude
fed from Multiplied Bread" The Word"
for the same Sunday will be ''Tithe."
The Church will observe the week of
Prayer beginning Sunday evening Jan /,
and continuing every evening during the
week. An atheist once said that He
knew there was no God. He had culti-
waited two adjoining fields, one on Sun
day, and the other on week days and the
Sunday field yielded more than the week
day field" Horace Greely thereupon
remarked The Lord does not always settle
his accounts in October. Christian don't
you get an idea that the Lord waits for
the Week of Prayer to bestow his
blessings. Prayer that is prayer is
sight draft on the throne of grace. He
will bestOw spiritual blessings on His
Church and people at any time they have
faith to call upon him. Nor don't you
get an idea that you can do up all your
praying the first of the year Do you do
all your eating and talking the first of
January, and lay off the rest of the year?
However that may be, you ought to be a
little larger, and better christian for hav-
ing observed this Week of Prayer Then
come each evening and take part in the
meeting. Come praying, pray while you
are there, and go home praying.
There remains some copies of the Pas
tors sermon on Baptism. Those who have
not received copies for distribution will
do well to call for them Get two or
three or more, and place them where the
reading of them will do some one good.
That was a singular blunder lady
made who mistOok theatre for church
On taking her seat she dropped her head
upon the back of the chair in front of
her and engaged in silent prayer Her
eXclamations recalled her
and she attempted to pass the matter off |
by pretending she was only removing her
overshoes. Praying in theatre She
must have been very absent minded.
And yet, when we think of it, where |
would a person need more to fortify him |
self with prayer?-Herald of Michigan
Bad as the devil is, he has one good |
quality, that he will flee if we resist him;
though cowardly in him it is saftey for
us.--Tyron Edwards
Mr. Charles Hahn and Mrs. Mabel |
were married at their home, by
the Pastor Sunday Dec 25th
We are glad to welcome back amongst
us our Brother Donegan. The Baptist
church with three ministers, one young
and two old ones to keep him steady,
ought to thrive certainly.

A CHINESE FLOOD.

Chinese papers give the details vf a
disaster occasioned by the Yellow
river overfowing its banks in the prov
lnce of Honee, and described it as one
of the most appalling occurrences In
loss of life and property recorded in re-
cent times. The rlver broke its banks
on the evening of September 81, south
east Of the city of Ching Chow, and
not only completely inundated that
city, but also ten other populous cities.
The whole area is now a ranging sea
ten to thirty feet deep, where it was
once densely populated and rich plain.
The former bed of the Yellow river is
now dry, and the present lake was the
bed of the river centuries ago. The
loss of life is incaculable, and the state
meht is made by missionaries that mill
ions of Chinese are homeless and starv-
ing. Many huts are being erected for
them. What it will be in two months
cannot be conceived. The misery is
increased owing to the bitter cold
weather.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: New
York has dropped to the position of the
sixth state in the union in the number
of miles Of her railroads. Illinois
stands at the head, followed by Iowa,
Kansas, Texas, Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio. Kansas with 400
more miles of railway than New York,
is an object lesson worthy of study.
